RKV EDI

Private jet charter from Reykjavik to Edinburgh

The route from Reykjavik (RKV) to Edinburgh (EDI) covers approximately 1,366 km, about 2h 47m nonstop by private jet.

We did not observe a regular nonstop pattern between Reykjavik and Edinburgh over the last 12 months, so this sector is normally flown ad hoc. Departure-end activity is solid though: 2,039 business aircraft movements were tracked at Reykjavik, around 170 a month.

Aircraft based at or passing through Reykjavik are led by the Beechcraft King Air 200 and the Pilatus PC-12, with an average build year of 2014 — that is the pool a charter for this route is most likely to come from.

At the arrival end, Edinburgh recorded 2,019 tracked movements over the same period (about 168 a month), most often the Cessna Citation Excel.

Departures from Reykjavik are weekday-led (61% of movements Monday to Thursday) — the classic sign of a business field, where weekend positioning is often available at short notice.

The smallest cabin that covers 1,366 km without a fuel stop is the very light jet at $1,500-4,500 an hour, and the type most often quoted here is the Bombardier Challenger 350. How the hourly rate turns into a total is set out in the private jet cost guide, and if the dates are loose it is worth checking empty leg flights on this direction first.
